That sounds awesome, Maggie. My grandfather had a farm near the Oklahoma/Texas border in southeast Oklahoma, where it's starting to get woody and hilly. I loved it. Someday, I want to buy a place with a little land probably in coastal Texas or near to the gulf coast somewhere.

Hey, I missed a whole week of frk since I was in GA away from interwebs most of the time.

No interwebs for a week? How did you survive?

In Georgia no less!

ATL and a little villa just south of Rome where the parent's have 8 acres they inherited as I'll inherit it one day : )

That actually sounds really nice. I couldn't stand the heat though.

It's still in the 70's right know but yeah 110/120 F heat index can make you wonder what you're doing but those are the days you head to the local blue hole or spring feed creek.

Reminds me of my summers out in the sticks where we'd go swim in the creek to cool off or take really long drives out on the back roads since we had no air conditioning. Does your villa at least have central air?

the current one is the replacements from The Sh*t Hits The Fans, recorded live and drunk in Oklahoma City in 1984:

The sh*t Hits the Fans is a Twin/Tone Records (TTR 8443) cassette-only live album by The Replacements which was released January 25, 1985. It was recorded live at The Bowery, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on November 11, 1984. The cassette J-Card cover art is by Chris Mars. According to the Twin/Tone website, 10,000 copies were produced, of which 9,276 sold immediately. The rest were given away as promotional copies.The source of The sh*t Hits the Fans is a Maxell XL II-S audio cassette. Roscoe Shoemaker, manager and DJ at The Bowery asked Paul Westerberg, whom he knew from previous gigs at The Bowery, if he minded if he recorded the show, to which Westerberg replied, "Why? We suck." Shoemaker hung two microphones from the front of the deejay booth and recorded the show, which was performed in front of approximately 30 patrons. After the show, Shoemaker went to a party to see the band off as they left Oklahoma City before returning to Minneapolis. When Shoemaker went back to the club, the cassette tape was missing. According to soundman Terry Katzman, the tape was confiscated by sound man Bil Mack, who claimed to have confiscated it from a fan. The audio dropout heard during "Hear You Been to College" is caused by Paul Westerberg who accidentally pressed the record button on a Walkman while listening back to the master copy. If you listen closely he can be heard saying "Stop, 's' enough".Of the twenty-four songs on the album only five songs are actually written by the band. The remaining nineteen are cover versions of songs by other artists.The Bowery, the venue where this performance took place, was bulldozed to the ground on March 22, 2007.
